Both Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had a rough go last season—CSK scraped by to finish fifth, while MI hit rock bottom on the points table. This year, CSK’s kicking off their IPL 2025 campaign with the home crowd behind them, ready to make a statement. Meanwhile, MI’s stepping onto the field without Bumrah, which already feels like a punch to the gut.

CSK vs MI Team Preview

Chennai Super Kings

One of the most successful IPL teams is set to begin its 16th IPL campaign alongside another equally successful franchise, boasting an identical five titles tally.

When analysing the CSK squad, it’s clear this team has strong backup options in every department. For instance, among the openers, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway have a solid track record, but if they falter, Rachin Ravindra could be an excellent substitute. The same applies to the middle order. In the bowling department, Sam Curran is well-supported by Jamie Overton. As for the spin attack, Noor Ahmad could effectively step in for Ravindra Jadeja or Ravichandran Ashwin if needed.

With no shortage of match-winners—from explosive openers to Dhoni-like finishers—CSK earns a perfect 10/10 for its balanced squad.

Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians undoubtedly have depth in their batting lineup, boasting an intense and explosive opening pair in Rohit Sharma and Will Jacks. Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav need no introduction as dynamic, explosive batting options to bolster the middle order. However, this team falls short when it comes to experienced wicket-taking options, and Hardik also won’t be available because of the slow over-rate in the last season. As the match will be played at Chepauk, a spin-friendly track, the Mumbai Indians lack quality spinners beyond Mitchell Santner, and there are no other notable options in the squad. Additionally, the team misses a wicket-taking pacer like Jasprit Bumrah in the powerplay to support Trent Boult.

This promises to be a high-octane contest, often dubbed the ‘El Clasico’ of the IPL. Mumbai Indians can easily score big, but defending those totals will be challenging due to their lack of quality bowlers on this spin-friendly track, where CSK holds an edge.
